Empty Bowls is a fundraising soup supper for the Auburn Interfaith Food Closet where diners pay for hot soup, bread and desserts and entertainment - then take home their hand made bowl. Bowls come from students, artists, teachers and our own clay artists from Faith Lutheran. FLC members and friends can help make bowls for the event in Cam Bennett’s Eden Hill Clay studio in January, February and March. No special skills are needed to make hand built bowls, but the groups are limited to about 8 people. Children can make bowls with adult help. January bowl sessions will be this Thursday January 16 at 6pm, and Monday January 20 at 3pm. If you want to join these groups, please email or text Cam at 530-277-6968 or heybud@cebridge.net. Sessions are normally about 2 hours.

If you have not received your statement or if you have corrections, please contact me in the office. Thanks, Carol AMENDMENTS TO THE MODEL CONSTITUTION FOR CONGREGATIONS AS APPROVED BY THE 2019 CHURCHWIDE ASSEMBLY Prepared by the Office of the Secretary Evangelical Lutheran Church in America August 2019   Our congregation will be discussing and voting at our annual meeting on adopting these amendments to the model constitution. Click here to read the full text of the amendments. Faith Lutheran Church Growing Places Ministry is an important part of the church that focuses on Christian communities where people grow in faith, share the good news of Jesus Christ and serve God with joyful hearts.   A small group emphasis provides many choices for people to connect in a meaningful way to the larger faith community and further develop their spiritual gifts.   In small groups, we experience more profoundly the feelings of family and community that first drew us to be part of Faith Lutheran. There will always be a topic to ponder and some scripture to listen to.  Everyone will be free to speak or remain silent as part of the conversation.                        Growing Places is about growing together.  Give small groups a try.  You will be glad you did!   A huge THANK YOU to everyone for your donations for the Fire Starter charity fund raiser this past December! A total of $395 in donations was received. The money was divided between The Meadow Vista Friendly Neighbors Club and Lutheran Social Services of Northern California (Specified for Northern California Fire Victim's). I will be needing more candles in preparation's for this coming December's Fire Starter charity fund raiser. Anyone having candles they would like to donate this year can give them to me or drop off at the office anytime between now and November. Your support and donation's are much appreciated. Gail Bible Studies started back up January 8/9. We will be starting a 13-week series that covers the intertestamental period-(the time between the Old and New Testaments.) Wednesdays at 6 pm, or Thursdays at 9 am. Speak to Pastor Charlane if you plan to join us so enough materials are available. (Materials fee: $10-$20.) January 27, 4 pm, in the church office.
